Foreigner suspected of dealing drugs in Central Pattaya entertainment area

[Pundi6446]

I guess that's the way to do it, if your ever arrested, don't give your name, or passport to the cops, You can bet he is probably a felon from Russia, and entered here illegally, like all the other scum bag Russians they arrest.

[MikeOwen]

Isn't 2.26g an amount one person would buy for personal use?

My bet he's not even a drug dealer but a showstopping Russian belly dancer short of cash

If he looks Russian to you, you should consider changing the optometrist

He looks like a Brit from Bradford to me

[slygeeza]

he should be able to buy his way out, at least that was my observation when i spent a few days in the soi 9 cells and a number of farang drug dealers were brought in. could be expensive tho

[balo]

Lets hope he'll rot in jail, no symphathy from me.

Sent from my SM-P601 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Another druggie scum bag caught good well done to the police keep up the good work now make sure he stays locked up for a nice long rest.

[Strangebrew]

I got picked up for being a farang it seems I was wearing a shirt like someone who did credit card fraud. They took me to the gold shop people not him. then to station I asked for embassy official they refused. Then they tired to get to admit to the crime even though I did commit it when that failed , they then tired to get me to agree to work undercover for them . Well I then said let me make a call they did I called embassy gave my information to them and said send a consul with in ear shot of officer They could get me out the door fast enough. At the time I worked for Homeland Security I was on vacation.As I was heading out the door the officer who took me in was getting his butt rimed. Seen him few days later Man did he move away at sight of me funny as hell.

I've been here 12 years....never had any police issues and don't want to.....butI guess cooperation would be the best bet....no sense in being smart .

Yeah, not quite like the military where they taught us Name, Rank and Serial Number. No Geneva Convention involved here.

It seems that many of these people caught with small amounts of drugs give up their supplier. Sometimes the supplier gives up his supplier as well. I'm wondering how the police achieve such a high level of cooperation.

And so few results as they advance up the ladder...............................

[Maggusoil]

Hence the name white Russian?

[lostmebike]

Although it's good to have one less scumbag selling class A on the streets, two and a quarter grams is hardly bust of the century is it? He was probably recognized for not crossing palms like others in the area and that was his real downfall.

A former Thai model got over 5 years (7 I think) for 250mg of coke, yes 1/4 of a gramme, they said commercial quantity in court. No such thing as personal use in Thailand

[BIACK]

He looks like a Arab, good luck in the monkyhouse.

[Eloelo]

pretty common in Thailand for any foreigner who is playing up with drugs .using or selling to get rolled by a Thai, they get kickbacks from the police for stitching the foreigner up.in Thailand where the penalties are high, the pressure is really on the foreigner to cough up or inside the big house he goes,more pay too go free than get locked up either way a dangerous game for any foreigner...

[NoshowJones]

Whats the deal with him being shirtless?

I think he is pantsless as well

You missed out brainless.

[smedly]

I believe he's Indian, I'm sure I've seen him hanging around a certain Indian restaurant in New Plaza that doesn't seem to sell a lot of food

The reporter may have made up his own spelling of the name "Sascha". Sasha is the Russian diminutive form of the name Alexander.

[kennypowers]

Contrary to what's reported in the media, Pattaya is a lovely place to live and has very few criminals. The fact that every day the papers are filled with stories of hookers, thieves and drug dealers is merely sensationalism. LMAO.

So you did do it, they could get you out fast you work for Homeland Security and the officer got his butt rimmed (lucky him).

Could you publish the code book you are using so that we can decipher your post or are you from Louisiana?

This.

I don't think it would be very smart to piss of the BiB; this is not a country where you can claim police brutality or coehersion..

Indeed, pissing off the BiB definitely is asking for serious trouble!

By the way, is this the country where 'waterboarding' and the likes originated?

[likewise]

As I stated earlier in this thread, you give your name and nationality, apart from that you DO NOT have to give a statement to the police and no you will not rot away in the cells because they have to bring you to court in 24- 48 hours time to appear in front of prosecutor/judge where you can have your lawyer present.

DO not be intimidated by these boys in brown.

You might ask why do I know all this, my FIL is a copper and I used to do lots of translation work for them.

Quite often the police will have you admit to things that they "think" you are guilty of so they can present their case "neatly" to the court, they do not care if the evidence is correct or not.

DO not trust them, and whenever arrested, just give name and nationality, contact your embassy and lawyer you have that right, let them lock you back up in their holding cells till they bring you to court !

It's a good idea. So, his full name and passport didn't appear in the dirty press.

Dealing drugs...is not what it's cracked-up to be...can't afford a shirt...

No all arrests always talk and grass their accomplices. . Figure out why ??? He is putty in the hands of the BIB.

[catweazle]

One here asked, "How stupid can you be?" - I believe his face tells the story, huh? Good to see him going to Bkk Hilton.

[alocacoc]

Why the BiB don't go a step further and arrest his supplier in a sting operation? So many drug addicts ind drug dealers in Pattaya. But we read only about these small fishes. Strange.

Who do you think the main suppliers are ??? They do not like to go further up the chain because they know damn well they will run into one of their own !
